This isn't an ontological thought exercise. If they've got a nasty infestation of PONCs, you can see why the 1st Amendment traumatizes them. twitter.com/waltshaub/stat…

If there's even the slightest chance I used "ontological" correctly, you can join me in imagining a PONC tweeting "I'm asked therefore I am"

Their very existence and its meaning. (Seesh, I had to post this 3 times to overcome autocorrect. What do you call that?)

From my slim understanding of Heidegger I'd second "ontological" since it implies that existence and meaning are the same. Just curious
